Police say a Cheswick man admitted he broke into and stole money and merchandise from two Alle-Kiski Valley businesses over the weekend.

Brady Richard Glover, 33, allegedly told police that he stole from Perfect Endings Family Salon in Cheswick and Premier Glass and Vape in Springdale, according to a criminal complaint.

“You got me, take me in,” Glover said when police found him, according to the complaint.

Both burglaries happened early Saturday.

Debra Caldwell, owner of the hair salon, said her husband caught Glover in the act when they went to the business at about 5:30 a.m. She said Glover made off with close to $3,000 in cash.

“He took a lot of money. He had a lot of things boxed up to take. He just didn’t get out of here with them because my husband (came) in,” Caldwell said.

Caldwell said she went to get her husband a coffee while he opened up the salon.

“He unlocks the door, and he saw that the register was all over the floor,” Caldwell said. “And he knew that I had been robbed.”

Caldwell said her husband told her that Glover came out of her office and asked her husband, “Do you know me?” before heading out the back door.

The salon has been around for at least 25 years. Caldwell said nothing like this has ever happened before.

“Who would ever think that somebody would do anything in a small town like this?” Caldwell said Tuesday.

Caldwell said Glover allegedly got into the salon by prying open a back door.

Ryan Zeiler, owner of the smoke and vape shop, said Glover broke into the shop about 4 a.m. by throwing a cinder block through the front door and left with $200 in cash and at least $5,000 worth of bongs, CBD products, vape pens and batteries.

Glover was being held Tuesday afternoon in Allegheny County Jail after failing to post $5,000 bail. He is charged with burglary and trespassing.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent
